For just a moment, Apollo didn't see any of the hyphae around him, nor did he see Otis taking to the air by using the mycelium and the mushroom forest that was being created.
Instead, he saw glowing blue lights that were so bright, everything became dark in comparison.
It was mana.
Somehow, by consuming normal food, Apollo was able to evolve and increase his magic affinity. Even in a fantasy world, it didn't make the most logical sense. However, that was what happened.
There were very few ways to increase one's magic affinity. In fact, it was considered impossible to the majority, most of which didn't even consider it a possibility.
The common knowledge was that one was born with a certain magic affinity and had to deal with that.
Considering that Apollo didn't even learn a single spell, such a great boon wasn't used to the greatest extent. However, that didn't mean it was useless.
